Therapists in Montana

Through a wealth of life experience, I bring to the session, knowledge and the ability to relate to others who are going through a challenging time. I focus on issues related to anxiety along with, depression, trauma, grief/bereavement, and life/transition issues. I have experience working with clients who feel lonely or are navigating through empty nest emotions.  I have worked with clients in many stages of adulthood to navigate the different nuances of life. My warm, compassionate, and direct approach can help support you as you explore past experiences, develop new skills, accept unwanted life events, and grow in new directions.

I am passionate about supporting clients through identity development, self discovery, depression, anxiety, life adjustment, relationship concerns, and chronic illness. My work is grounded in empathetic, active listening. I am warm, direct, and down-to-earth in my communication. I believe you already have within you the insights you are seeking—I can offer a therapeutic and humanistic perspective to highlight these, and provide validation, encouragement, and support in the change process. I might incorporate play, art, writing, or other creative mediums for communication.

My therapy practice specializes in mood disorders, working with individuals, couples and families. I am also a Board Certified Executive Coach and specialize in business coaching and leadership development with an emphasis on Emotional Intelligence. Through a fun, collaborative relationship, there is always a way to address the issues you face and learn coping strategies to help you both right now and in the future. Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, marital conflict, job stress, career and life transitions.

Life is difficult to navigate in the best of circumstances. We often carry with us a past that influences how we interact with others, our perception of the way others interact with us, and the patterns we form in our relationships. You do not have to navigate these waters alone. Therapy can help support your individual, family and relationship goals. I understand it takes courage to ask for help and I want to make the process easy for you.

When the world whispers "Give up", Hope whispers "Try one more time". If you are looking to improve your life and your relationships, I can help. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I work with children, adults, and couples to heal old wounds and transform their lives for the better. You are not alone in your challenges, and you do not have to carry your burden by yourself. Together, we can work to make sense of your life, achieve greater happiness, richer relationships, peace of mind, and inner strength.

My approach is empathic, direct, and thoughtful. Given I have a wide background in my training and experience, I adapt my therapeutic approach to your needs. I find that effective therapy is a collaborative approach where we work together to understand your concerns, their origins, and most importantly what can be done to bring about both the internal and behavioral changes that lead to more satisfaction and fulfillment in life . My goal in therapy is to help integrate your shame and vulnerabilities into a healthy identity grounded in self-esteem, pride, and resiliency.

Currently Accepting New Clients. I believe behavior is communication. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to understand you, a child, or a teen is communicating. By creating a judgement free space and empowering the client, I aim to engage adults, children, and teens in centering themselves, processing their experiences, and advocating for their needs. I also have experience working with people impacted by disabilities and systemic trauma.

I provide individual, couples, and family therapy to children, teens, and adults in a comfortable outpatient setting in Butte, MT. I am qualified to treat multiple issues including, depression, anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, attachment disorders, trauma, autistic spectrum disorder, family of origin issues, parenting, co-parenting, blended families, and relationship issues, including conflicts and lack of emotional connection within a couple. In addressing these issues, I utilize play therapy, art therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and a family systems approach.

Throughout life, we are faced with the task of overcoming challenges and hardships. Whether you have been struggling with mental health concerns for many years or are going through a current life circumstance that is causing you distress, it may be time to seek outside support from a therapist. We will work together in a collaborative manner to create a space where you can focus on gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, increase meaning and fulfillment in your life, and reduce mental health symptoms that might interfere with your well-being.

I believe there is already more right with you than wrong with you. When you believe this as well, watch out, for the world will begin to reflect the new perspectives and energy you create. With good reason you arrived at a disbelief in your goodness, uniqueness and personal power to create a better life. Core beliefs are adopted early in life from challenge and trauma. They reside deep in the subconscious where they can be difficult to rewrite. I can help you replace old ways of thinking, feeling and acting with those that support growth, expansion and attainment of goals that lie beyond your current limiting beliefs.

I enjoy working with couples and families. I have been very successful in using a communication approach when working with couples. I have worked with attachment issues since I started counseling in 2000. I am especially excited about working with families in a group setting in order to deal with major issues that are occurring. I am experienced in systemic counseling and group work of all kinds.

Hello! My name is Kelly Scariano and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missoula. I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults to help them create lasting and powerful change in their lives. I specialize in relationship issues, addiction, depression, anxiety and grief/loss. By assisting clients in gaining insight and self-awareness we work together to identify and resolve unhealthy behaviors, which are getting in the way of forming lasting and loving relationships. I am known for my warmth, compassion and insight. I create safety, trust and a strong working relationship with each individual or couple.

I approach every client with concern for immediate difficulties and symptoms, but also believe that one of the central tasks of therapy is to gain self knowledge and understanding. This might include acknowledging emotion, understanding avoidance, and identifying behavioral and relationship patterns. Research studies have demonstrated that focusing on relationships (past and present) increases the likelihood that therapeutic work will be effective.

My name is Aimee Lang (previously Volkman), and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC). I believe each individual is unique, and views the world through an individualistic lens- given their experiences. I feel everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard. It takes a lot of courage to take a step towards enhancing ones well-being. Often, people feel lost and overwhelmed in their past and current struggles. I have a varied clinical background focused on working with children, adults and families who are struggling with life changes, anxiety, depression, PTSD, divorce, autism, attachment and existential crisis.

My work is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity for well-being, growth, and healing. With a safe environment, the conditions are created to let go of shame and judgements around emotions and behaviors, creating space to cultivate curiosity, acceptance, and compassion about your experiences. My intention is to create the conditions that allow you to closely examine your life and values… and ultimately cultivate and achieve your goals. I offer a warm, supportive, and safe space for transformational inner work that leads to lasting growth and change.

Hello! I am passionate about working with teens. You’re probably reading this because you’re the parent of a teenager and facing new challenges and worries. Your love and dedication are truly making a difference. And you deserve some support in guiding them! The early teen years are full of newness and energy and lots of confusion and awkwardness. At this transitional stage, young individuals are caught between the innocence of childhood and the complexities of adolescence. They’re facing a whirlwind of physical, emotional, and social changes – social media, privacy, sexuality, increasing academic demands, and a changing body.

Whatever obstacles and struggles you may be going through in life; I consider it a privilege to help you deal with them. You may have a lot coming at you, trying to make decisions, maintain life balance and all while dealing with intense emotions. My goal is to help you look at options, identify solutions that work for you and help you to discover your true potential to create life as you want it to be.
